I find it hard to believe that firing a gun can cause a fire.

What are the odds a ricochet sparks where there’s something flammable.

It can happen, but Lightning is way more likely.

Only if you are not shooting 10mm!

I have caused a fire just by firing my 9mm. The muzzle blast ignited either the dry grass or excess powder on the ground in front of my bench. I was at Garland gun range in garland, TX. The rangemaster said that it happens all the time.

“What are the odds a ricochet sparks where there’s something flammable.”

How does a lead bullet striking stone, steel or anything else make a spark?
